vr6madmike 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Ive heard good things about gmax in other threads on here, if your budget is 250 then I would go with that as you still have buy all the mounts and stops ect. Link to post Share on other sites
Roan 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've just taken delivery of the G-Max setup. OSR shock exploded a few days ago so I need to get the new stuff on ASAP (car is handling like a dog obviously). Can the top mounts not just be re-used? Also, what price should I be paying for installation & proper setup/camber etc? My regular mechanic is off on holiday for a few weeks and I need this done ASAP. Got the G-MAX kit for £225.98 from Edworthys (less 7% from using Quidco). Link to post Share on other sites
bulk66 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Ive just spoke to my local vw specialist who dose my work and he says that the top mounts only need doing if there shot. Ive booked my car in so ill post some more pics when every things done oh ive gone for a boge set up by the way my vw guy said hes used it and its ok... Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 might aswell replace all the mounts, bearing, bushes, bumpstops etc its only a few quid and better to do now when its all out anyway, than in a few months time when it fails an MOT on something to do with it, if you get what i mean Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I've got GMAX too and they advertise a drop of 35mm. It's more like 40-45mm and it looks perfect (how it should have been from the factory) but not too low to be impractical. Should be good quality too as they're gas shocks as opposed to the common oil based shocks. Plus 3 yr guarantee so good value in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
